As am I. Granted that the original author of the essay/rejected policy was a relative newbie (a very knowledgeable one, who had attracted enough attention to rate his own Wikipedia Review thread), the earliest editors to the page included several longtime editors with considerable experience recognizing trolls and disingenuous editing. I have a hard time imagining that neither Slim Virgin nor MONGO would have sussed him out; both of them seem to have a genuine talent for identifying problem editors, often well in advance of others.

The purpose of BADSITES was, in general, to ensure that any policy like BADSITES would never be passed, and in particular to insure that links to WR would not be removed from Wikipedia.
It seems to me that this argument has only been recently put forward and yet the whole controversy about the proposal is much older than this. I'm having trouble reconciling the two.
